The National Wildlife Federation is the current fiscal sponsor of the Clean Water for All Coalition.
Clean Water for All has the following federal policy priorities, which are voted on by our members and therefore can change from year to year. Our current federal policy priorities include:

Promote equitable and affordable water infrastructure investment: Significantly increase federal funding for our nation’s water infrastructure and ensure that investments are affordable for all people by directing funding to communities that need it most and using federal policy mechanisms to encourage the adoption of local affordability policies; prioritize green infrastructure and natural infrastructure in all federal infrastructure investments; and prevent regulatory actions on water infrastructure that harm the environment and public health.
Reduce nutrient pollution: Reduce harmful algal blooms, toxins in drinking water supplies and “dead zones” by reducing inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus from most significant sources by advancing policies and community-influenced solutions that address the harmful impacts of agricultural pollution, inadequate sewage treatment and urban runoff to our waterways.
Address and educate on climate impacts on water resources: Educate the public, Administration and Congress about the impacts of climate change on water resources, including potential solutions for mitigating climate change that also protect and improve water quality, and how water use contributes to climate change and how antiquated water infrastructure, water use, and water pollution contributes to climate change.
